I love this gorilla statue in Crystal Palace Park. I have so many pictures of it - pictures of me and my sister as kids...pictures of the boys at various ages sitting between his arms. This, however, is the first one I have taken of it's arse. Rob and Toby found it most hilarious...

I have never noticed how funny Moorhen's feet are. Almost feathery....

Toby and I went up to Brick Lane for a beigel run - and he loved this graffiti - he wanted to be one of the "lost boys"

I've spent today in bed with tissues and cold remedy. Cold number 2 this month. Just finished the last one and got hit with this. I'm NEVER ill but feel like utter crap today.

I'm very proud of this photo. I did take it yesterday so I'm cheating bit I love it. Love the composition. I took a lot of pics of this fabulous bubble blower but the child with the hat just wandered into this shot. Very magical.

Bert cooked. An epic culinary undertaking (courtesy of M&S ). He never cooks. And he chose my fave - rack of lamb - which he hated. But did it for me. Our 22nd valentines day as a couple. Very lovely.

Toby was chosen to paint a self portrait which is hung with others in the school reception. I'm very proud. He said he had 'proper ginger hair and loads of freckles all over the place' It's on canvas and I hope I get to take it home eventually!

And here is just a sample if the haul I got! The blue dress seems most popular on Fbook. I love it all.

I was lucky enough to be invited to a Fatshion clothes swap with some of my favourite fat bloggers. It's utterly brilliant. You bring stuff and you swap it. Everyone gets new clothes for free! And I get to hang with some amazing fatties whose style I admire. Then get to take home their clothes! Bliss.

For once I had multiple options for today's pic - Toby got pushed into a wall at school and currently looks like a Klingon - huge swelling between his eyebrows. He also got a certificate at school which I'm proud of. And I cooked a mean mac'n'cheese which I have a pic of. But I'm sticking with my original idea. I sang songs about food today in class. And couldn't get 5 currant buns in a bakery's shop out of my head. Had to visit one with my 'penny' on the way home. And get one for clogsilk.

A Costa! In Catford! And next to my favourite restaurant! Cool! Ok so we are fucked when it comes to emergency services but we can eat and drink well.

One thing the Tobester WILL eat is meatballs. Even if he dunks them in his hot chocolate....which he did this evening. Yuk. Oscar insisted I take a close-up.....

Do you see what I did there? Tee hee. Jamie Oliver's Squash Pancetta Bake. Hoping to tempt Toby to try something new. It didn't work. But everyone else liked it.

A bit of a cheat since this was taken last night but we didn't get home till after midnight so I'm allowing it for today. A lovely meal with my husband - a rarity - we hardly ever go out together. And a curry is even rarer - I hate spicy food but there's one restaurant we can go to - Royal Gurkha in Bromley Road. They serve the best Chicken Mewa Masala and it isn't spicy at all. It was a great meal after a great choir gig at the Tigers Head. And nice to see my old man so jolly (the 4 pints of beer helped)

It was James' 6th Birthday party on Saturday at the chaos that was Gambado at the weekend. Utterly bonkers. However I loved it for two reasons - cos Clare had supplied cake for the grownups....and cos Anne let me have a good ranty chat about stuff which I really needed (even in mad surroundings). This weekend I have been very grateful for my friends.

A lovely evening with a gang of friends I originally met 8 years ago at a post-natal GP group. We've stuck together more than any other pre or post natal gang of mums I had (and I had a few). These women are precious and priceless and although we don't see eachother enough (and there were a couple missing tonight), will always be there for each other. I know it.
